“Some people think cats make the most perfect pets. Other people prefer dogs, or snakes, or birds, or fish. Where do you stand? For this month’s contest, make a poster to convince someone looking for a pet why cats are better than dogs, or dogs are better than cats, or why your own favorite odd animal actually makes the best pet. Win us over, and we’ll post a parade of the most persuasive pets in an upcoming issueof ASK.”

FEBRUARY 2025

“In this issue of CRICKET, everybuggy’s heads are in the clouds. For this month’s contest, we want to read your best poem about something that is out of this world.

Will your poem take place in outer space, on Earth looking up at the stars, or in an otherworldly imaginary land? You might rhyme about launching a model rocket, like in “Winning” or landing a real spacecraft on the Moon, like in “Old Cricket Says.” You could boldly announce the discovery (or false discovery) of a new planet, like in “Showdown at Separation Point.” Perhaps you’ll describe the magic of an ancient sky, like in “Why the Sky Is Far Away.” Or you might reimagine how a normal activity will be different in the future, like Antrik trying to get his license in “The Flying Test.” You could even explore a secret world hidden in the simplest of places, like in “Between the Pages” and “Her Hands That Held the Stars.” The sky’s the limit!

Whether your poem is scientific or fantastical and fueled by facts or high hopes, everybuggy in Cricket Country will have their eyes on the skies (and the mailbox), waiting to be transported by your best poem—of 24 lines or fewer, please—that is totally out of this world.”

Contest rules:
